In early January, Marshal Yanda was left devastated when the Baltimore Ravens lost to the Tennessee Titans. To make matters worse, Yanda was going through one of his most successful seasons in his 13-year NFL career. Although most of his teammates brushed it off as just a minor bad day in the office, Yanda viewed it differently.
So, instead of wallowing in sorrow, Yanda trained harder than ever to get back into shape. The 35-year old conjured up a revamped exercise routine, a new diet and a fierce willpower. The end result was Marshal Yanda losing more than 60 pounds in his first three months of retirement.
Speaking about his physical transformation, Yanda said, “There are two words: It’s the ‘want to. If you want to do it, you’ll do it. It’s how bad you want to. People want to talk about it, but at the end of the day, do you really want to? That’s important.”

He left the game as one of three guards in NFL history to earn eight Pro Bowl selections and win a Super Bowl. In doing so, he joined the likes of Larry Allen and Alan Faneca.
